I think I know the answer to this. Are they the Indy 500 - Firehawks and are their more than one Firestone tire, that a dealer could recommend?

I got lucky. I went to a Large St. Jude Car Show, had to leave early to attend my pastor's daughter's wedding this past Saturday.

The Corvette guys putting on the show caught me right before I left, I bought the tickets for $5, knowing I would not win, as I never win raffle events. I gave the tickets to my buddies I was with and sho enuf, I won the tires.

My buddies said they mentioned truck tires or passenger car tires when they presented my ticket, but I want to walk in there knowledgeable to swap for the right set for my Lil T.

Thanks for any advice! Wink

Hi Rich,

Congrats on the win!! I have BFG's on my car but I would go with the Indy 500. Ask your dealer what he would recommend!
